Australian Capital Territory
Tarry refining and treatment residue
Australian Capital Territory J160: the tarry residue must arise from refining, distillation or heat-driven decomposition.
ComplyOnSiteIs ACT J160 hazardous waste?
Not from the code alone. ACT interstate controls apply when the waste matches a NEPM Schedule A List 1 category and has a List 2 hazardous characteristic. The ACT list supplies the printed code, because the NEPM doesn't print A100-style numbers.
For a controlled border movement, enter J160 with the waste description on the waste transport certificate. The producer, transporter and receiver each complete their part. Get ACT EPA's consignment authorisation before bringing controlled waste into the ACT, and record the quantity, form, destination and dangerous goods details. ACT movement exclusions still apply.
What does ACT J160 cover?
Tarry residue from refining, distillation or pyrolytic treatment falls here. Both the tar and the process it came from matter, so unrelated tar waste isn't in the code just because it is tarry.

Use the ACT entry for an ACT movement record. A national reporting category with the same number is a different thing and doesn't set the ACT movement duty.
